Hey, I am in the middle of your cafe racer series and I just wanted to let you know I just bought a 1978 GS 750 and your videos really help and will be a huge help when doing work on my own bike. Keep up the great work and keep the great detail within your videos!! Thank you
kyle nelson Thanks! Have fun with your build and thanks for supporting my style of vlogging. I want this to be helpful to other builders so your comment made my day. All the best!
Thanks for the great videos, Urban Monk TV. I was gonna take the bike to the shop for the second valve adjustment (48,000 km or 30,000 miles) and they're charging around $ 800 - 1,000 Canadian (I live in Alberta). But after seeing this definitely doing it myself.
Good for you! Thanks for watching.
@@UrbanMonkTV My initial plan was to investigate the problem of oil leakage from the front side of cylinder No.1 (suspecting the spark plug, will know once I start investigating). But now that I'm thinking to do this, might as well just do the valve adjustment! Cheers and safe ride.
@@ElnurMalikov There is a rubber gasket around that spark plug hole. Perhaps it has been compromised in some way. Easy enough to do. Enjoy the project!
Urban Monk TV thank you, Sir. I’m hopeful that it is spark plug gasket, otherwise it is going to be a headache trying to find the source/fixing the leak...
@@ElnurMalikov Chances are very good it is that gasket, or the valve cover gasket or one of the 4 gaskets around the cover bolts. All easy fixes.
Excellent series. I have a 2003 SV1000N and will be doing this very soon.
Awesome. I Subbed and liked all 3.
Thank you kind Sir!!!
pdubowner Thank you for watching! Great engine, the SV/DL. I just did my third tappet clearance check at 45,000 miles and, AGAIN, needed no adjustment. At this rate I'll put 500k miles on this thing b4 I run out of available shims!
Great video. I think I will attempt to do this myself with your great videos.
Really enjoyed these videos and I don't even own a V-Strom. The gear-driven cams come out real easy. No cam chain tensioners to worry about as well, right?
Reckon with your meticulous attention to maintenance schedules and the mild Cali climate, your bike should be good for 400,000 mils +.
TS50ER Let's hope so! They are known to run long. Thanks for watching.
Could you do an explanation on cam chain tensioning procedure for v storm 1000. I have a TL1000 and believe the procedure would be similar. Thanks. Great videos.
Thanks for watching! The cam chain tensioner on our engines is supposed to be automatic, but I've read some tensioners had issues. I'm not having any problems with mine so I won't be doing a video on it, but I did find an explanation of the process here from poster RoyQ. I can't vouch for it however. advrider.com/index.php?threads/v-strom-1k-cam-gear-chain-noise.673256/
